With the speed of their group, they soon arrived at Nanlin City. Mu Chongshan and they went straight through the downtown area to the front of the barracks.

"Stop, this is an important place in the barracks, idlers are not allowed to trespass, and those who violate military law are engaged in !!" At the door, a childish half-grown boy was not afraid of the group.

"If you have a report, it will be said that Mu Chongshan, the commander of the Lingwang guards, came to visit the Nanlincheng military camp with the reputation of the Lingwang Shizi!!" Mu Chongshan didn't care at all, but was full of interest in this loyal soldier.

"Boy, seeing that your age is not very large, why did you come to serve as a soldier at such a young age?" Mu Chongshan asked curiously.

"Look at your eldest man, he doesn't want to serve the country, but he is a slave to the king of Ling, what a waste of his good body. If a man is not a soldier, what is the use of living in this world? Is it like this man who spends his days doing nothing and harming the people? Hmph, looking at your gorgeous clothes and pale face, it's not a good thing at first glance!! Xiao Bing pointed to Mu Qingfeng in the crowd and said.

At this time, Mu Qingfeng and Mu Chongshan couldn't cry or laugh, they didn't expect this kid to be so sharp-toothed, and they didn't know who taught him to use strong words.

"The person who came is Mu Chongshan and Mu Xian's brother??!"

Long away from the gate of the barracks, a loud shout was heard. I saw a general over half a hundred years old, dressed in some old armor, rushing straight to the camp gate.

Seeing the faces of the people who came, Mu Chongshan was not as calm as everyone saw, and shouted loudly; "Officially little brother!! But Brother Wang Lin?!! ”

"Hahaha!! You're really here, open the camp, little bunny thieves, this is the people from our hometown that I mentioned to you!! ”

The people in the army were not good at greetings, and Mu Chongshan hugged the general named Wang Lin fiercely as soon as he got off the horse. The two didn't say much, just patted each other on the back vigorously. Perhaps the friendship between men does not need too many words to embellish.

"By the way, I almost forgot to introduce to you, this is the son of our war lord, Zhan Yu." Mu Chongshan gestured to Mu Qingfeng, who was standing aside.

Mu Qingfeng walked slowly to the camp gate, and when Wang Lin saw it, he quickly let go of his hand, half-knelt on the ground and said in an excited voice; "The last general, Wang Lin, is the deputy general of the original Xizhenling Wang Army, the prince is above, please forgive the last general for the crime of rudeness." I patronized and reminisced with my old comrades-in-arms, but I didn't notice the big guys.

Looking at Wang Lin in front of him, Mu Qingfeng hurriedly helped him up; "The old general is serious, in front of you loyal warriors, I really can't afford such a big gift, please get up quickly." To tell the truth, Mu Qingfeng was a little sad, Wang Lin already had white hair on his head, and his emaciated face was covered with traces of time. It stands to reason that this age should be spent at home, but for the sake of the belief in his heart, he has been sticking to this barren place.

The group quickly came to the barracks, but the scene in front of them made many people frown. Most of the people who caught my eye were some half-grown children, or old people who were about the same age as Wang Lin. Although they train very hard, there are only a few people in such an open area, which is very untimely.

"General Wang, I don't know this... Mu Qingfeng pointed to a child who had accidentally fallen to the ground. I saw him quickly stand up and re-enter the training, unfazed by the knee he had just broken. The elderly soldier next to him scolded when he saw the scene; "I can't stand still, what are you doing!! You know that if you fall on the battlefield, you may hand over your life to the enemy, or it will kill your companions, I ask you if you want to do this!! ”

"I don't want to!! I don't have such a bad boy in Daxia!! ”

"Then give me ten laps around the training ground, don't rest if you can't finish the run, it's better to die of exhaustion on the road, so that we are less burdensome!!" The instructor didn't save any face and reprimanded loudly.

Seeing the young man running around with difficulty, although he was exhausted, the fortitude on his face did not decrease.

Everyone was a little unbearable, including Mu Chongshan, who was also waiting for Wang Lin's explanation.

"The son of the world is not strange, the commander is not strange, these things are excusable. The prince knows that our southern city is located at the border pass, which is not easy to supply, and life in the army is hard, so few people come to sign up for the army. Most of the children here are the sons of the elders of the Ling Wang Army, who have been trained by their fathers since they were young, hoping that they will have the opportunity to participate in the defense of Great Xia. ”

"Even so, the team's training is a bit harsh, but it's just a fall, so why not." Mu Chongshan still can't let go of the punishment of that child.

"The Commander doesn't know." Wang Lin said softly; "That team is the biological father of the kid who is running."

Hearing Wang Lin's explanation, everyone was a little silent. Xue Lian'er in the team suddenly spoke; "Aren't there any young men in the barracks? Can we win the battle by relying on these old, weak, sick and disabled? ”

Wang Lin found that Xue Lian'er and Mu Qingfeng were standing very close, so it was not easy to reprimand them more. "Of course, it can't be all such people in the barracks, but the military situation has been urgent recently, and most of the main forces in the barracks have been transferred to guard the city walls, so the back camp seems so empty." 、

Thinking that he was summoned by the emergency military situation of Baiwu City, Mu Chongshan hurriedly said; "What is the military situation in front, why don't you see your eldest brother Wang Qi? Don't.... ”

"Don't worry, commander, my eldest brother Wang Qi is guarding the front city with the elite of the army, and a few days ago we found out that the barbarians were invading on a large scale, and immediately issued a warning. It's just that this time the barbarians are completely different from the previous style, so far they have just besieged but not attacked, and I don't know what they are waiting for. Wang Lin was confused about the actions of the barbarians.

"Maybe it's Mr. Zhan's poisonous trick again, you have to be careful." Xue Lian'er gently bit her ear at Mu Qingfeng.

"There's no way to give, let's take one step at a time, before they make a move, we can only respond to all changes." Mu Qingfeng nodded. On the way back, Mu Qingfeng once asked the enemy about Mr. Zhan, but Mu Chongshan didn't know anything about this so-called Mr. Zhan. It seems that Mr. Zhan either used a fake identity or had another hidden secret.

"By the way, I heard that the five thousand captives of the barbarians are being held nearby, I don't know where they are, can you let us know." Mu Qingfeng suddenly remembered an important purpose of this trip.

"Those captives are being held on a hill ten miles away, and these barbarians are vulgar and rude, and it is somewhat inconvenient to be around the downtown area." Naturally, there are no secrets for the prince of Lingwang.

"In addition, these captives consume a lot of our food every day, so it's not a way to go on like this, can the prince come here this time because of the will of the imperial court to ask us to act?" Wang Lin asked.

Without waiting for them to answer, Xue Lian'er couldn't help but speak: "These people burned, killed, and looted in the Great Summer, and you will still provide them with delicious food and drink?" Do you think I'll believe it? ”

"This girl's words are wrong," Wang Lin didn't notice the problem in Xue Lian'er's words, "although they are enemies with us, but since they have laid down their weapons and become prisoners, of course we can't treat them the same way barbarians deal with our captives." After all, our Great Xia is a country of etiquette, and we still can't do such a thing as abusing prisoners. In addition, according to the prince of Beiyan, these people were different from the barbarians who committed crimes in the early stage, they were not so cruel and tyrannical, and they were very cruel to the homeless people outside the Guan, so they were not killed after being captured. ”

"It seems that the captured ones are indeed the barbarian bull clan who are loyal to Xue Lian'er, I have to think of a way." Mu Qingfeng thought secretly.

"It's not too early, let the children go to training first, let's go to dinner, and by the way, go to the front camp to meet my eldest brother." Seeing that the sun is not early, Wang Lin said.

"It makes sense, the prince might as well go with me to the front to see the majesty of the army of my Mausoleum Palace, and take a casual look at the legendary desperate San Lang - General Wang Qi." Mu Chongshan said bluntly.

"Don't worry, since we're here, we should share weal and woe with the soldiers, anyway, General Wang Qi won't be able to leave the front line for a while, let's wait and go." Mu Qingfeng was thoughtful and found out what Wang Lin seemed to be hiding. Why are you in such a hurry to take your group out of the barracks? You must know that according to Mu Chongshan, they are looking forward to the stars, the moon, and the arrival of the people from the Lingwang Mansion, but after he came, he was bent on rushing out.

"It's no wonder that the prince of the world, the food in the army is coarse, I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to eat, so it's better for us to find another place." Seeing that Mu Qingfeng had a posture of not leaving, Wang Lin was a little anxious.

At this time, even Mu Chongshan saw that something was wrong, he said: "Since the prince has an order, it is better for us to obey our subordinates, and I want to try the craftsmanship of the army if it is really good!" ”

Looking at the iron-hearted group, Wang Lin was anxious.

After a while, Mu Chongshan looked at the black and somewhat rancid steamed bun in his hand, and his face was extremely pale. These people were born and died for Great Xia, and they were indeed treated like this, looking at the half-grown child who was eating this pig food not far away, Mu Chongshan's teeth gurgled.

"Wang Lin!! You'd better give me an explanation! What's going on?!!" Mu Chongshan grabbed Wang Lin and beat him up without saying a word.

"Commander Mu don't be impatient, you can see that General Wang's dress has nothing to do with him, I think he has a hard time, right?" Mu Qingfeng restrained the angry Mu Chongshan and quietly waited for an answer.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Wang Lin said: "Qiyu Shizi, commander, since you have seen it, I won't say anything more." The life of our defenders in the south of the city is really miserable, and the training is very heavy, but we don't have enough military pay to fill the stomachs of the soldiers, three meals a day, basically these rotten and moldy steamed buns, my eldest brother in order to make the front-line soldiers eat better, even our ancestral house has been sold, so the food on the front line is a little better, as for us... ”

How can this be?!! Our annual military salary in Daxia is a very considerable amount, you are the old man of the Lingwang Mansion, I believe that you and your brother are not people who fill their pockets, tell me, where did the money go?! Mu Chongshan became more and more unable to control his emotions.

"Great Commander, the money has been deducted by the city lord of Nanlin City, what can we do with them?" Wang Lin said helplessly.

"After eating the bear's heart, the leopard dares to deduct our military salary, and when we are in the West Town, the Lingwang Mansion is muddy? See I don't take them ... Mu Chongshan's words came to an abrupt end.

"The Grand Commander remembered why this was happening? For the sake of the prince's entrustment, we had to swallow our anger. Wang Lin said.

Looking at the silent Mu Chongshan, Mu Qingfeng was very curious: "Commander Mu, what's going on?!" ”

After being silent for a while, Mu Chongshan said; "The prince didn't know that in the battle of the grassland, after our Lingwang Mansion was ordered to break off, it was finally outside this southern city that defeated the chasing soldiers of the barbarians, and retained a trace of vitality for our Great Xia. After the battle, the prince found that although this place was remote, the strategic location was extremely important, and if the front line was lost, this was the last line of defense to stop the barbarian invasion. Therefore, the prince ordered the surviving soldiers of the Lingwang Mansion to be stationed here in case of trouble. ”

"I know this, you told me on the way here, why are the people of the Lingwang Mansion still treated like this with such a great achievement?"

"But Nanlin City is the place of power of Nangong Ao, the king of Nanding Yue!!" Mu Chongshan said hatefully, "The prince doesn't know, our Lingwangfu and Yuewangfu have always been at odds, and the prince looks down on Nangong Ao to do whatever he wants by virtue of being the emperor's younger brother, so he forbade King Yue to participate in politics at various military meetings, and from that moment on, Nangong Ao has a grudge against the prince, and is an enemy of the prince everywhere." Now that there is an army loyal to King Ling in his heart, how can he rest assured. I think the matter of withholding grain and grass must have come from his arrangement, the purpose is to force our Lingwang army to leave this place, so that he can do whatever he wants!! It's just that our brother has suffered, and I don't know how much I have suffered over the years for the arrangement of the prince!! ”

Hearing Mu Chongshan's words, Mu Qingfeng fell into deep thought: It seems that there are disputes everywhere, although the Lingwangfu is his own mortal enemy, there will be a battle in the future, but these warriors who are loyal to the country cannot be treated like this, if there is no them, maybe the grassland people will drive straight in, and when the time comes, as Master Li Daoling said, the national revenge cannot be avenged, and what is the point of the family hatred getting what it wants?

Thinking of this, Mu Qingfeng quietly walked to the distant dining place, and everyone didn't know why, so they hurriedly followed.

Mu Qingfeng sat on the ground in the surprised eyes of everyone, took out a black steamed bun from the basket with his right hand, and ate it in a big gulp.
